摘要:
A user of a camera equipped communication terminal is aided by the use of the invention when, e.g., dialing a phone number, sending a message to a recipient associated with the phone number, or simply store the phone number in a contact database in the terminal. The camera is pointed in the direction of a surface on which a sequence of symbols presumed to be a telephone number is written. The field of view is aimed using the guiding pattern and, e.g. by pressing a button or selecting an action from a menu, the symbol sequence is recorded in an image. The image, i.e. a sub-image containing the sequence of symbols, is then subjected to optical character recognition (OCR) processing that interprets the sequence of symbols as a telephone number to be used in an application that performs the dialing, message sending or storage into the contact database.

摘要:
A method for providing hand segmentation for gesture analysis may include determining a target region based at least in part on depth range data corresponding to an intensity image. The intensity image may include data descriptive of a hand. The method may further include determining a point of interest of a hand portion of the target region, determining a shape corresponding to a palm region of the hand, and removing a selected portion of the target region to identify a portion of the target region corresponding to the hand. An apparatus and computer program product corresponding to the method are also provided.

An apparatus for providing a personalizable user interface may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive a drawing input at a touch screen display, determine whether the drawing input corresponds to a stored graphic element that is associated with a function, and initiate the function in response to determining that the drawing input corresponds to the stored graphic element. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.
摘要:
A system and method for statistical bar code reading for electronic devices having a camera. After a bar code is captured by the camera, a one-dimensional wave form is created based upon the captured bar code. A feature vector is created from the one-dimensional wave form, and the feature vector is compared to a plurality of reference vectors. An algorithm is used to select the reference vector that is most similar to the feature vector in order to correctly identify the captured bar code.

摘要:
An approach is provided for determining one or more recommendations based on an incremental update of a recommendation model. An incremental platform causes, at least in part, a categorization of activity information into a plurality of subsets based, at least in part, on one or more user groups, one or more item groups, at least one update time for at least one recommendation model associated with the activity information, or a combination thereof. The incremental platform further processes and/or facilitates a processing of the activity information based, at least in part, on the categorization to determine whether to perform an incremental update of the at least one recommendation model. The incremental platform also determines one or more recommendations based, at least in part, on the at least one recommendation model, the incremental update, or a combination thereof.

An approach is provided for creating a connection between users of a social network. The approach involves determining location information associated with a user and other location information associated with one or more other users. The approach also includes processing the location information and the other location information to cause, at least in part, identification of one or more encounters, one or more encounter patterns, or a combination thereof with respect to the user and the one or more other users. The approach further includes determining to generate at least one recommendation to create at least one social network, at least one social networking relationship, or a combination thereof between the user and at least one of the one or more other users based, at least in part, on the one or more encounters, the one or more encounter patterns, one or more meetings and/or events, or a combination thereof.
